Only the best roses

Here they are exposed to the ideal sunlight and temperature to produce the finest large head roses on the planet, which will be sure to WOW your recipient.

 

fresher longer

Our florists finish each rose by hand, de-thorning, and carefully plucking its guard petals away to make sure it looks its best from the moment it is unpacked. For its longest life we cut the stem at an angle for extra water absorption and each individual stem even has its own water sachet (with pure New Zealand water) and flower food is provided, ensuring optimal life span and condition. When your roses arrive the buds will be pre bloom to ensure your recipient enjoys its longevity.

our founder

James Stevens, our founder, has worked with flowers all his life. As a child, he would visit the markets with his father, buying stock for the family floristry business run from at the Town Hall Station in Sydney.

It was in the early 90's that James saw an opportunity in the new world of ecommerce for a business focussed on roses. His concept of a brand known for its quality - "the Tiffany of flowers" - led to the creation of Roses Only.

"Roses Only is a luxury brand," James explains. "Our customers are discerning, and they trust us to source the best roses available, no matter where in the world they are grown." The quest for quality led James to look beyond Australia's seasonal trade - to Ecuador, Colombia and Kenya. There he found the longer stems and larger heads he wanted to bring to our customers.

From the outset, it has been our attention to detail that marks us out. Complete quality control and a continuous search for the very finest roses define the brand. While our roots are in Australia, we now serve customers from Singapore, US wide, London and Hong Kong.
